Yat Siu: Investment Philosophy in the Metaverse and NFTs | Club Metaverse Pod #13
PODCAST INFO:
Hong Kong-based entrepreneur Yat Siu was born in Austria and studied at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. Both of his parents were musicians and urged Siu to pursue the same career, although he was more interested in technology and computers.
A stint working for Atari saw him relocate to the United States, but by the mid-90s, he had moved once again, this time to Hong Kong to set up the city-state’s first internet service provider business.
In 1998, he founded Outblaze, offering an early version of what would now be called cloud computing services, such as webmail and file and application hosting. However, following the dot-com bust, Outblaze found itself with some major competition in this field from companies like Google.
In 2011, Outblaze sprouted Animoca, making gaming apps for the emergent smartphone market. Five years later, Siu co-founded the spin-off Animoca Brands, which entered the blockchain gaming market in 2017 by signing an exclusive distribution deal for CryptoKitties in China.
